Today, I reached behind my couch to plug my phone charger in. My arm got stuck and I had to wait for my roommate to get home to help me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while trying to get my phone to charge, I shoved in the cable harder and harder and tried to wobble it so my phone would charge. After snapping the USB input from the force, I saw the plug was switched off. FML
Today, I accidentally locked myself out of my apartment while taking the trash out, without my phone. I had to wait outside for three hours until my flatmate came home from work to let me back in. FML
Today, I was driving home from a long day at work fixing people's electronics. When I got home, I got a call from work saying I needed to go back and help a customer with their TV again. When I got there, after an hour of driving, I realized I'd accidentally kicked the power cord out. FML
Today, I was stranded on the couch with a sleeping baby. I had my phone, but everything I wanted to do needed both hands, or sound. I was toying with my phone on my lips when someone texted me, causing the phone to vibrate my teeth, which hurt, and to avoid my baby falling, I crunched my shoulder and pulled a muscle. FML
Today, while in the shower, I heard my phone buzz. Expecting an important text, I leaned out to check it. I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and ended up stuck in the most awkward position possible with one leg in the shower and the other out. My roommate had to rescue me. FML
Today, I was moving into my new house. While trying to turn on the light in the bedroom, I realized I couldn't reach the string on the fan. I got a chair, climbed up, reached over, and fell badly. While writhing in agony on the floor, I looked over to see a light switch on the wall. FML
Today, I was on my phone while it was charging. My hands fumbled a bit, and my phone slipped out of my fingers. Thinking quickly, I grabbed it by the charging cable to save it. The cable unplugged, and my phone now has a pretty crack on the screen from hitting the tile floor. FML
Today, my laptop plug got stuck in the wall outlet. I stood there for 10 minutes violently trying to yank it out. My boss came in and screamed at me for making noise. I was angry, so I glared at him and yanked on the plug as hard as I could. It dislodged itself noiselessly and I fell over. FML
Today, as I tried to get out of bed, I got my foot tangled in my sheets. I reached out to my dresser to avoid falling flat on my face. I didn't fall, but I did manage to smash my fingers in the drawer while still trapped in the sheets. FML
Today, my shoulder was pulled out of its socket when I was helping a customer load a desk into his vehicle and he decided to answer his cell phone. FML

At least your phones ok.

...Your couch must be pretty damn heavy considering you couldn't nudge it back just slightly enough to get your arm out. That or it's nailed to the floor?...

Really? How much do you have to pay them?

Well in the aftermath he still gets his phone charged.

I hope the couch isnt hurt

At least...

This FML is what sucks. Boo.
Belsie 10
At least you didn't have to cut it out..
luvbughug 5
Do you mean cut it off? Like the arm? Cause that would be slightly dramatic
Belsie 10
Out/Off doesn't matter. And I was referring to the film "127 hours".
Il_Maestro 6
Not dramatic. Just a flesh wound.

35 its a movie you idiot. Edit:ninja edit 35
ScaughtieHolden 11
Yeah except he was in the desert alone trapped by a rock and cutting his hand off was his only option. Getting your hand stuck behind a couch isn't parallel to that movie at all.

50 thats the joke dont take everything so literally dude ease up

64- I know right? I swear people these days.. Getting more serious by the second.

How would it ever come down to that? I don't think it's that hard to just move the couch out.
badbadkitty 5
Have you heard of an extension cord?
boofgall 16
Or perhaps, an easier outlet to reach?
Il_Maestro 6
Don't be silly! An extension cord would be unable to help him pull his arm free.
ebonyirony 29
4- how do you get the extension cord plugged in, then, hmm?
luckyd880 12
Ooo better luck next time. Maybe invest in a car charger. Something less dangerous :/
boofgall 16
Dangerous? How the hell is plugging your phone in dangerous? OP probably tried to reach their arm in a tight spot to plug it in, and it got stuck.
luckyd880 12
Well it obviously seems dangerous to op :)
yahoowizard 16
Yes, a car charger in her house makes more sense
siickman 7
Omg i died to 38's comment. Thanks for making my morning. And i always lose my car chargers btw. I think they get stolen doe so not sure :(
luckyd880 12
I just charge my phone while I drive because my one year old always steals my wall chargers and slobbers on them. So it may be a good idea to get a car charger for the CAR. Or find a different outlet that's more accessible.

You'd have been screaming bloody murder if you got a cramp with your arm pinned like that.
SystemofaBlink41 27
I'm sorry, was that a Sum 41 reference?
StoryOfTheYear 15
I did think about their worst, most disappointing album ever released when I was typing that, yes. :( Wasn't the point of the comment though.
SystemofaBlink41 27
I actually agree about it being their worst album, though I was more excited about the reference than the album itself.

You life isn't f***ed. That hour (or hours) you wasted may have sucked but hardly a FML
unknown_user5566 27
Are you the type of person who also sticks their arm into vending machines? I'm also fairly certain you have more than one power outlet; next time, choose one where you won't risk getting stuck.
StoryOfTheYear 15
I always plug my charger in behind my couch if I forget to charge it the night before. I like to use my phone while it's charging. I wouldn't berate them for wanting to use the outlet behind something comfy.
unknown_user5566 27
26- Fair enough, I do that too. The big difference? I don't get stuck, and I'm assuming you don't either. :)
AugustBurnsToast 14
I bet OP even climbs inside claw machines just to get the plush toy.
unknown_user5566 27
30- Not going to lie... I've contemplated that. The teddy bears are just too damn tempting! ;)
ChickInGreenVans 12
I bet he does..
Il_Maestro 6
This is the definition of a first world problem.

Or op is really really lazy, and figure it was better to sit and wait while eating potato chips.
Mauskau 36
When your body is on it it's very hard to move it, assuming that OP was on the sofa and leaning behind it if they couldn't get to the socket from the side.
emilyjgraham 34
why didn't he pull it out in the first place?
hecallsmedarlin 7
54- op could have just pushed against the wall even with the fact they were on the couch. (since the arm was stuck, I am assuming the couch was against the wall.) unless op weighs a ton, that's the only way I see them not being able to move the couch a half an inch.
kaylanicole1695 12
what are the odds that op had a bag of chips?
